Beyond the Fringe: Extraordinary Conversations with Scientists and Sages

What we think we know is in transition in Western societies. What’s considered to be real is changing. Experiences once relegated to the category of delusion or mere fiction show up in a new light. Sources of knowledge once deemed illegitimate become a normal part of public consciousness. Healing modalities once rejected as unscientific penetrate into the mainstream. Sightings of UFOs, once derided as crackpot obsessions, are now reported in New York Times as authentic. What’s going on here?

Polly Young-Eisendrath and Charles Eisenstein, themselves both cutting-edge thinkers, engage in open-ended, pre-recorded, 90-minute conversations with some leading thinkers in psychology, philosophy, religion, science, and other fields to explore the edges of what they know about human experience. The old paradigms are breaking down; this is where the new ones may come from.
